  • Publication number: 20210389391
    Abstract: A vertical bipole source in a borehole generates a vertical bipole flow. The vertical bipole flow generates mutually orthogonal time-domain B-field data. Magnetic receivers at a surface location receive the time-domain B-field data and determine elements of a hydrocarbon reservoir using a 3D EM inversion technique. The vertical bipole source may extend into the borehole or be a virtual bipole source located at a surface location above a reservoir.
